This book presents and evaluates current methods and applications in nonlinear digital filtering. Solid introductory material, balanced coverage of theoretical and practical aspects, and dozens of examples provide you with a self-contained, comprehensive information source on nonlinear filtering and its applications. Coverage of all major classes of filters from fundamentals to performance comparison the book covers dozens of classes of filters and, for each class, includes basic ideas, definitions, algorithms, and impulse and step responses that allow direct comparisons of filtering operations. This book is a major contribution of tremendous value to experimentalists, professional signal processing engineers, professors, and students.
